Increasing Cable Length With Data Repeaters - Shure DDS 5900 User Manual

5.4 Increasing Cable Length with Data Repeaters

A large discussion unit chain requires additional equipment
DC 5980 P
CU 5905
to ensure a reliable audio signal. The DDS 5900 system
transports audio and control data in packets using a
proprietary protocol. The CU 5905 tightly manages and
synchronizes these packets for the entire discussion unit
chain to avoid audio dropouts. The CU requires a strong
max.120 m
signal to properly synchronize a large number of units.
(393 ft.)
The CU supports 120 m of cable before requiring additional
equipment to strengthen the signal.
5.4.1 Cables over 120 m
There are two solutions to add cable distance
RP 6004
The RP 6004 strengthens the data and adds four additional
outputs. This unit does not add power to the chain.
EX 6010
The EX 6010 strengthens the data and adds four additional
outputs. This unit is supplies a separate power source from
each chain output.
